these two brands right now i think has some of the best android tablets out there right now, if i were to go with asus i would probably get the tf300 or the tf700 infinity, maybe the tf201 prime but the inifnity is the one i want most but is kind of pricey, and if i went with acer it would be the acer a510 or the a700 they both have very good battery life but get very heat, i read somewhere, so which tablet should i get? please dont have to much of a bias towards asus. i want it to be fair, im getting rid of my iconia a500 i want a tegra 3 tablet
Asus for me love it
Asus all the way.

Well for me it would come down to the Infinity or the A700. Prime would be out of the question because it is apparently gonna be the same price as the Infinity. But out of the A700 and the TF700t, the TF700T would have to win. Its much nicer looking in my opinion and I have heard the A700 can be a bit laggy running the 1080p screen.
Hope this helps.
Do the Acer tablets have the I/O problem? All the Asus tablets have terrible I/O performance because of software and slow internal memory. That causes lag everywhere when an application saves or reads data from internal flash memory.
samsung
The new Toshiba AT300 (in the U.S. Excite 10) also get good reviews.
I guess it's basically the question, do you want the keyboard dock or not...
If you do, asus is the only real option atm afaik... If not I'd seriously consider acer. (Owning a TF101 and TF201 myself btw).

Hi friends
The time has come for the revolution. In connection with the way the Asus treats its customers I think we should start a revolution and a massive public campaign on the back cover replacement programme or any other solution to the problem of weak WiFi and/or GPS in Transformer Prime. The Internet is the power they are afraid of.
Asus' President would be very interested in the situation. He would like to know the way his company treats its customers.
We have to let him know... We have to make a change

From slash gear, it appears that the only changes are
-1080p
-2mp camera instead of 1.3
-changed back plate
I already got really good, constant wifi connection
My BT works fine with my Game pad and my Galaxy Note
I'm own phone, there's no need for a GPS
1080p = More battery drain for something that only Prime users will notice the diff.

Did you not check before posting this all over the forum? Where did you get the idea it was a Qualcomm chip?
In order for this to have any change of success, we should work out possible solutions first.
Noone is helped with just bashing their facebook walls.
Let's collect some opinions and options for ASUS.

Asus TF Prime announced
Ppl preorder

Preorders canceled and delayed

Problems didnt go away
Asus Solution?
Make new device, sell 100$ more expensive, leave ppl who bought TF prime hanging like a nutsack
Problem?
Here is a better link.

This is not a 7 inch version this is a 10.1. If you look at the back it is the exact one we need to make the prime work. So my opinion is they knew that aluminum was flawed but decided to leave it on. Then release this to fix it. While everyone wasted their hard earned money so they could be the first tegra 3 on the market.
They should upgrade us for free to the new one. Also it is still puzzling why the tf101 is going for the same price as before the prime came out.

No i mean new 10 incher shown at CES, beta tested by us using TF201. That's not the way they should do their business. I love my TF201 and I'm not going to sell it. But I do not like to be treated like a retard.

Have you looked at viewsonic gtablet? There are a lot of different roms for that once you have it rooted.
7 " size - Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus
1.Stock recovery is fully open and ready to flash out of the box
2.Fits in my pocket
3.IR Transmitter so you can use it as a remote control
4.Fast
10" size - Asus Transformer Prime
1.Best specs of any tablet right now
2.Convertible
3.Asus says they are committed to unlocking the bootloader
4.Fast
Good luck.
The original transformer is a good buy for the price and features you are looking for.
Asus announced a Tegra 3 7" today for 250. Seems oki paper.

I am on the fence about the Transformer. Someone I know has the original in great condition for only $300. I'm sure he is going to use the money to get the Prime. I'm wondering if its a good buy at this point or should I spend the extra two bills and get the Prime myself.
Any suggestions??
Good point
i have a HTC flyer and I'm very happy with it.
So I just returned my prime to best buy because of some minor problems. If they had one to exchange I probably wouldn't be making this post. But now that they aren't really in stock anywhere I may just wait for the iPad 3. Now I'm really not trying to troll or anything but do you guys think I should wait? Or just tell me I'm being stupid and should come to my senses.
After using an Android tablet and then going back to an iPad 2, I hated how limited it felt in comparison.

Exactly. There is no comparison between Android tablet and iPad. One is for grown ups, while other is for kids who do not know any better or for people who think that getting "BT Transfer" in latest OS update is the latest feature in mobile world

There should be quite a few 1080p tabs to choose from in the coming months.
Ive got a Prime also and far from impressed main issue for me is poor wifi which is useless for my intended use of travelling.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
how about you act like an adult and make a decision?
i'm getting really tired of this "living by comittee" lifestyle that people are starting to adopt.
purchasing something as frivalous as a tablet comes down to a very unique (to the purchaser/user) set of critera as to what they should buy and what they consider value for their dollar.
if there were still any hidden mysteries as to what this particular tablet brings (in both the good and bad) to the table, i would be more compassionate towards the question of the OP, but the pros and cons of this tablet have been discussed ad nauseam on this forum, if one cannot make up their mind at this point on their own by reading, then no one can help them.

Which? Tell me. It will really take some time before they are actually available in the stores. And if you want some quality tablet you would not want to go with Acer. Lenovo is overpriced. Samsung, Asus, Apple are the one's who make the best tablets in my eyes.
And no, I don't had any of those WiFi/GPS/BT issue's with my Prime so I also put Asus there because with my tablet it was very solid build, had a good feel etc. etc. Same for the TF101.
I had to return mine to best buy because it was stuck in the ICS rebooting loop. I just ordered another one today from office dept. If ICS and wifi work and there are no screen issues I'm keeping it.

Absolutely correct. There is definitely a reason business, major medical institutions, educational institutions and the U.S. military have contracts in place with Apple.

Somehow I doubt a lot would regret waiting the few months for one that does get addressed properly compared to the one that doesn't due to its design.

I have an iPad 2 and I don't mind the lack of customization to be honest. I kinda like the feel of ios.
So I received my Transformer Prime today and am having wifi issues (very poor connection strength). Also, I have a group of very bright pixels on the screen.
I know there is a new Transformer tablet in the works that has significantly better specs...so I'd be best to wait. In the meantime, I found a mint TF101 with docking keyboard for $350. Everything checks out and it seems like a great package for the price. This coupled with ICS arriving in two weeks for the TF101 makes it a reasonable decision to return the defective Prime and get this original TF101 w/keyboard.
Is this a good move? I've never owned the original Transformer and hope that it is plenty fast to play flash content. Anyone care to offer a POV on this decision?
I plan on getting the newer Transformer in Q2 when it's rumored to release.

I have both and the OG TP is pretty damn laggy even with a 1.65 OC.
That + the random reboots and freezes makes in a no go for me.
I did it and am happy with my decision. Wifi is crazy strong and the device is plenty fast.
Wake me up when the new Transformer is released. The Prime isn't ready for prime time IMO.

I would go with Samsung and their Note tablet if you can wait they seem to have their products running pretty good (Galaxy S3) with their hardware and software, and they have good development here for their devices. I wish the Samsung Note Tablet with their CPU and hardware was out when I was deciding what to spend my $650 on.
I would wait before purchasing an Asus tablet again and see if they can fix their I/O performance problems if I were you. The Prime, Nexus 7, TF700, yeah they look nice but looks can be very deceiving as we know (Example= Prime).
IF Asus ever gets the I/O problems fixed then the TF700 or the Nexus 7 could be good choices. I wouldn't buy anything from Asus (Tablets) until you see if they can fix their current issues because if they cant fix the Primes performance they wont fix the TF700 of Nexus 7.
As an owner of the Prime I feel we were basically beta testers for the TF700. I refuse to recommend any Asus tablets after being used as a beta tester they got me once but not going to happen again. The bad part is I had to pay $650 to be beta tester!
Tablets are suppose to be a fun enjoyable experience not as frustrating as its been with the prime, we keep hearing they got an update coming out that's going to fix all the issues, but every time we get an update it does not deliver!

I doubt it. the rear camera was cut out to save on costs. Even without rear camera, its a great deal.
There is a slight chance that down the road, once manufacturing costs drop for this device, they "Might" release a revised version with rear cam. I doubt it though. never say never though

I would wait to see what Samsung is bringing next. If Samsung's next top tier tab comes with a Exynos 5250 it will be far superior to any Tegra powered device. But for $200 a Nexus 7 would be a great buy even if you end iPhone getting a 10" down the road. I bought a GTab 2 7" and think I like the size better than 10".
